A SERIES OF OVATIONS Tendered the Great Democratic Leader Throughout the Day and Evening. A GRAND STREET PARADE The Eq,ual of Which Has Never Been Seen West of tho Missouri. ENTHUSI'SM WITHOUT END Over 60,000 Spectators (93 per ct of whom were shouting for Bryan) and 0,000 in line. Local Goldbug Republicans take on That "Worried Look," As They Viow the Vast Throng Determined to Vote for Hon est Principles. A BIG DAY FOR BRYAN. Tho whole north side of the ciipitol grounds was filled with people Tuesday afternoon to wit ness tho preliminary notification exercises of William Jennings Bry an as the presidential nominee of the silver party. They stood for three hours with- the sun pouring down upon them that they might hear the next president speak upon the all-important question of the campaign. Mr. Bryan came upon tho plat ,form escorted by Mr. Norris Hum phrey, followed by Mrs. Bryan and Mr. George A. Grout of Cleveland, O. Mr. E. E Brown introduced Mr. Bryan. The audience fairly went wild as their fellow townsman and future president arose to speak. The deafening cheers lasted for several minutes. After tho crowd had yelled itself hoarse and about exhausted its lung capacity, Mr. Bryan was given an opportunity to speak. His voice was hoarse at first, but became stronger as ho spoke. He could be heard dis tinctly to the very edge of tho vast throng. Mr. Bryan said ho would not talk long as there were others present who could present tho issues fully as well as he, and he was trying to save himself as much as possible. He referred particularly to the growth of the silver movement, and said: "The sentiment in fa vor of freo coinage is a growing sentiment t It far surpasses my expectations in the oast. Thoy are going to he with you in your fight to freo tho country from the financial influence that has so long dominated it. The same condi tions exist in tho caBt as in the west. Tho intense earnestness that characterize tho campaign is remarkable. People are earnestly for us are they are earnestly against us. There is no lukc warmness about anybody. "We have a financial system that is injurious to tho great mass of our people. Our republican friends admit that it is not good for us, but they insist that wo must keep it until foreign nations coiuo to our aid, 'The democratic platform de clares for tho immediate restora tion of tho money of tho constitu tion. The republicans aro trying U drag in other questions but there can bo no questions until wo first decide whether we can legislate for ourselves or not. Tho big corporations aro at tempting to coerce and compel their employees to vote in accord ance with their instructions. Thoy assert the right to determine how those iu their employ shall work. This is another great problem that forces itself in this campaign. If corporations am do this in one instance they can do so in all. The people create these corporations. Did thoy intend that thoy should oxorciso such power? If corporar tions have no legal right to muko such demands upon their em ployees, they usurp the power and becomo a dangerous power and menace to our freo institutions. "They say we will havo a flood of silver nnd the gold will go out. It would be . better to havo the silver come in and drive the gold out than have foreign financiers come in and tako the gold out and leave nothing in return. "They want good money. So do we. They . want a money so good, so dear, that the poor man can't get any of it." (Space will not permit us to pro duce tho whole spoech. ) Tho parado did not form until nearly 3 o'clock. It started from in front of tho Lincoln hotel. Tho first division was headed by Fred A. Miller, marshal of tho day and his staff. Ho was follow ed by tho Nebraska stato band.

One of the most conspicuous floats was that arranged by Capt. Hunter. It contained tho largo framo which contained tho por trait of Bryan which was burned recently by tho republicans. F. L. Rose came next with a dilap idated umbrella bearing tho words "Gold and Protection." Tho Osceola band which consist ed of 15 pieces made a good ap pearance. Then camo tho Pal myra free silver club followed by about 500 on foot with appro priate banners. The Cortland cornet band and Cortland Bryan club of 100 members showed up well in the procession. Those on horseback from West Lincoln, Waverly and other points num bered over 1,000. Tho Sprague free silver club boro tho bannor "Bryan Will Carry Canton, Ohio." There were other floats followed by more carriages. Tho procession was nearly an hour in passing.
